Chapter 1033


Jason had picked up on the rumors swirling around Anastasia and Rowan.

Herman, for one, used to get pretty jealous about the whole thing.

Honestly, the only guy who could ever get under Herman's skin like that was Rowan.

Rowan had gone up against four kidnappers on his own to save Anastasia, then just vanished without a trace. Whatever else you said about him, Jason had to admit he respected the guy for that-cop or not.

Jason had just finished handling Asher's case. Rowan had worked with Asher, sure, but strangely, there wasn't a single innocent party among his victims. Still, the charges Rowan was facing made Asher's look like child's play. He was looking at a much heavier sentence.

Rowan looked Jason straight in the eye and said, "No, I'm not doing this for anyone. I just want a clear conscience. I believe in paying for what I've done-I don't want to spend my life hiding. Autumn set up the kidnapping of Mrs. Salstrom, and since I witnessed it, it's my duty to help the police."

Jason didn't buy that for a second. He was sure Rowan's decision had at least something to do with Anastasia.

"So why did Autumn kidnap Anastasia?" Jason pressed.
